For the upcoming fixture against Fortuna, the page's matchup read uses each opposition forward's last-season dribble rate to weight Ajax's defenders.
All numbers come from match-level Sportmonks data ingested into Statz — 10 Ajax fixtures in the active window for 2026/2027. Player odds come from Bet365 player markets when priced. Pre-match lineups are predicted lineups until team news lands, then confirmed.
A player must have featured for at least 20 minutes in a fixture for that match to count toward their tackle rate and form. Cameo appearances are excluded so the rates aren't diluted by 5-minute substitutions.
We count attempted tackles per Sportmonks' definition. That matches what Bet365 settles 1+ tackles markets on, so the page's hit-rate and the bookmaker's pricing are aligned.
